What is the HX-POE103/G used for?

The HX-POE103/G works mid-span: it takes an already-powered uplink and repeats both data and power downstream, so a run can be split into several 100 m segments. In a typical IP camera installation it is the part that decides how many devices can be powered, how much headroom is left for future cameras, and whether a long cable run still needs a relay point.

As built: network side 1 × 10/100/1000Base-TX uplink PD powered port 3 × 10/100/1000Base-TX PoE ports; 10/100/1000Mbps forwarding.

How much power can it pass downstream?

An extender does not create power, it passes it on: the uplink is a PoE-powered (PD) port, and the downstream ports re-supply the same budget to the devices behind it. The rated figure is 30W(max.), which is the ceiling for everything downstream of this unit.

That ceiling is what makes cascading a calculation rather than a guess. Each hop adds cable loss and a small conversion loss, so the number of hops is bounded by the budget as much as by the 100 m segment limit.

How far can the link run?

Structured cabling limits a copper channel to 100 m between active devices. Switches and injectors terminate one segment; extenders exist to start a new one, so a run built from three segments can reach roughly 300 m — but every extra hop also re-supplies power from the same original budget.

This model is the relay in that chain (output ports cascades downstream). Waterproof versions are the ones used on outdoor poles, where the housing, not the electronics, is usually what fails first.

How do I choose between the models in this range?

The siblings in this family differ on a small number of axes. Compare the powered port count first, then the budget, then the uplink — a model with SFP uplinks only pays off when the run back to the core is fibre.

What should I confirm before ordering?

Five checks catch most of the mismatches we see on purchase orders for this family:

Port count against the camera count, with at least two spare ports — the 1 powered ports here are the hard ceiling.
Budget against the sum of device labels at their peak, not their average.
Uplink: copper is fine inside a building; SFP matters when the run back to the core is longer than 100 m — see the Uplink Ports row above.
PoE class of the cameras versus the PSE class (AT here) — a mismatch only shows up at the powered device.
Mechanical: see the size row above, and whether the enclosure is going on a wall, a DIN rail or a pole.

FAQ

How many cameras can the HX-POE103/G power?

It depends on camera class, not on port count alone. With a 30W(max.) budget, eight 6 W fixed cameras and four 20 W PTZ units draw 128 W combined — within budget — while nine 25 W units would exceed it. Count the sum of the device labels, then keep 20–30% spare.

Is HX-POE103/G compatible with cameras of a different PoE class?

A AT PSE negotiates down: it will run af or at devices happily. The reverse is the problem — a AT powered device asked to run from a lower class PSE either refuses to power up or browns out under IR load. The PSE class sets the ceiling; the device class sets the demand.

How many extenders can be chained?

Each hop must stay within budget, so the practical answer is: as many as the original PSE budget allows after cable and conversion loss. Two or three hops is the common figure for camera loads; beyond that a local power source at the far end is usually cheaper and more reliable.

Can it be supplied under our own brand?

Yes — we run OEM and private-label production on this range: custom branding, packaging and model numbers on the same hardware. Ask for the current datasheet and a sample plan before committing a project to a specific variant.

Where can I see the full specification?

Every figure in the specification table above comes from the current production data for this model. If a figure matters for a tender, ask for the current datasheet before quoting — printed documents and production revisions drift apart.
